“…Previous studies on implant failure/survival frequently report early and late implant failure (Borba, Deluiz, Lourenço, Oliveira, & Tannure, ; Ekfeldt et al, ; Esposito, Hirsch, Lekholm, & Thomsen, ; Han, Kim, & Han, ; Noda et al, ). We have opted to focus on early failure, since it is more related to the biological capacity of the bone to achieve osseointegration; late implant failure, on the other hand, is thought to result from chronic bacterial infection, so‐called “peri‐implantitis,” or overload, due to the load‐bearing capacity of the surrounding bone (Esposito, Thomsen, Ericson, Sennerby, & Lekholm, ).…”
